Each year by June 30 the Board is required to adopt a budget for the upcoming fiscal year. Fiscal years run from July 1 through the following June 30. The annual budget serves as a foundation for the District’s financial planning and control. The budget is prepared by fund in accordance with Oregon Budget Law. 

Adopted budgets, presentations, notices and videos are available on the Clackamas County Budget Presentation page. 

Financial Reports

The District is also required to have an annual independent audit and prepare an Annual Financial Report (AFR). The AFR provides information based upon the revenues and expenditures for government-wide and fiduciary activities in accordance with Government Auditing Standards.

The Clackamas County Service District No. 5 Report of Independent Auditor’s and Financial Statements with Supplementary Information is available on the Clackamas County Financial Report page.

To make travel safer and healthier in Clackamas County, we are developing tools and programs for travelers and employers. This set of tools, or travel options, will help expand awareness about transit services, recreational trails and carpooling to improve public health and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

What does a travel options action plan do?

The plan will:

• Develop a suite of travel options for people in urban Clackamas County to broaden ways for people to travel without a vehicle.
• Identify new, innovative opportunities to improve mobility.
• Define strategies to help people use transportation networks and infrastructure more effectively without using a vehicle.
• Explore strategies to reduce congestion on roadways such as van pools, commuter shuttles, bike parking, vehicle parking policy and employer-provided reduced cost transit pass programs.
• Fulfill the travel options requirement of the transportation system plan for the State of Oregon
• Develop and implement a pilot program to improve mobility for targeted audiences in Clackamas County.

Project Area

All urban areas of Clackamas County are included in this analysis and action plan. The county will coordinate with cities about travel options in their specific areas.

The need remains for a transportation link for people that walk and bike across the Clackamas River to connect the cities of Gladstone and Oregon City. 

This phase of the project will identify a preferred bridge structure type and perform up to 30 percent engineering design. The bridge will replace the recently demolished Portland Ave Historic Trolley Bridge and connect the existing Trolley Trail, a shared-use path for bicyclists and pedestrians, to trails that exist along the Clackamas River on the Oregon City side of the river. 

The bridge design continues the work completed in a previous feasibility study. Clackamas County is assisting the City of Gladstone through the design process using the county's ODOT certification. 

Why

To improve active transportation access across the Clackamas River for pedestrians and bicyclists in the Gladstone and Oregon City areas. 

Schedule

Design: March 2024 – Dec. 2026
